    I take a B complex it helps to eaze some stress, and it's water soluble, meaning you just pee out the excess. I have found it to make me feel a little happier, also with being on Birth Control, it is a great supplement, your body tends to depleat itself very fast of the b vitamins. I also take Melatonin some nights. I live in Wisconsin, dark cold winters, and your body tends to slow down production of it. I always had problems falling asleep, and the mealatonin tends to allow me to get a more restfull sleep.

    I'm a manager at GNC... So I take quite a bit of supplements.

    Green Multivitamin (which has digestive enzymes, so I no longer take them separately)
    Sport Fish Oil (with L-Glutamine, so I don't have to take it separately)
    L-Arginine + L-Ornithine
    L-Lysine
    B6
    Vitamin C
    Vitamin D
    Probiotic
    L-Carnitine
    Astragulus
    Resveratrol
    Be Beautiful (Hair Skin Nail)
    Chia Seed (every few days, esp when I need fibre)
    CLA (just started back on this)
    Spirulina (especially when I forget food at work, or just want to up my protein)


    I just bought some SafSlim (safflower oil) to see what it does (and up my calorie intake)
    I have some of the Be Hot vitapaks, but usually toss the fish oil one out of it. Major fishy burps.

    I also drink a protein shake every morning.

    wow. thats allot to keep up with. I would forget unless i had a couple of the granny pills packs to keep them in. I would love to be this healthy. Seriously. Great job!

    Thanks to many of you! :) I'm totally going to get some L-Lysine tomorrow. I can't believe I did not know about this supplement with all the supplements I have. Sheesh! LOL

    I workin an office where we suggest suppliments for patients. There are lots out there and it all depends on your daily diet. I take 3,000 vit D because it is winter time here and we dont get much sunlight. This helps with your immune system. I also take fish oil 2 times a day. Fish oil is a nutural inflammatory. If you work out and have slight injuries here and there it helps. I take a Doctors Pride brand Meta Trim.everyday too. Its green tea based and has amazingly helped with my over eating. I take l-lysine, which is a protein to help with muscle and it also helps you sleep a little better. If you have a specific concern, I can try to suggest certain supplimemts for you. I actually like researching this for people and I have a company I use for ordering these. Let me know!

    OK. I'm very confused by this ---- "I just bought some SafSlim (safflower oil)".

    Hun, you already take SafSlim. CLA is the same thing! I saw the whole SafSlim thing with Montel on Dr. Oz so I looked it up. Cause of course, it intrigued me. :) Found out it's the same and I already take CLA myself.

    I take melatonin every night for sleep and that's pretty much it. I own a women's multi that I take sometimes. This is something I will be revisiting, though, since I think I could do for some supplements -- I've just been poor lately!

    I take Juice Plus, Fish oil, and Calcium. I really do see an improvement in my dry skin and dry eyes by taking the fish oil, and I totally believe in the benefits of taking Juice Plus!

    Niacin - get the flush free kind - is a natural B vitamin - which fights cholesterol and triglycerides. I take 1000 mgs every day. I also take a magnesium/Vitamin D/Calcium tablet, 1000mg fish oil, all as rec. by my doctor. I take a multi vitamin, too.

    OH.....definitely Flush Free! That was a very scary experience. LOL And unfortunately, when I saw 'flush free' on the bottle, stupid me thought that had something to do with going to the bathroom. ;/

    I'm on doctor's orders to take 5,000 IU of Vit D daily and I'm also on Rx strength (990mg) of L-carnitine. In addition to that I take Biotin, Gingko Biloba (helps reduce some side effects from my medication), cranberry pills every now and then (I'm prone to UTIs), and valarian root if I need help sleeping (as I work 3rd shift).
